Palestinians insisted issues of principle are at stake. The “safe passage,” which had been scheduled to open yester day, is to provide the first unfet tered route for Palestinians be tween the two areas, and is key to smoothing peace talks revived last month by Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Palestinians said the 11-hour delay is due to Israel’s insistence it issue magnetic-card passes and maintain power of arrest along the route, running from the northern Gaza Strip to the south ern West Bank. “We consider these points de grading and humiliating towards the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Authority,” negotiator Jamil Tarifi said yesterday. “If Is rael maintains their position, safe passage is meaningless.” Public Security Minister Shlo- mo Ben-Ami insisted the differ ences were "technical” and said he was certain the Palestinians would come to understand why Israel needs to maintain the pow er of arrest. “Israel’s sovereign! under no discussior right to guarantee the seci the passage is unquestioi he told The Associated Pr Current status ! 1 Israeli control Palestinian/ Israeli control i Palestinian control Mediterranean Sea & Vo/ Technical issues delays Palestinian road . from opening.

Craig Sanders, who is leading a U.N. assessment mission in West Timor, told the Associated Press that some refugees could be taken back on U.N.-chartered flights as early as Wednesday. In Geneva, U.N. High Commis sioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata welcomed the news, which she said was the first tangible result of her meeting last month with In donesia’s president. “If the return actually happens, it will bring an end to the ordeal of thousands of miserable people,” she said. Aid agencies said the majority of the 230,000 refugees taken to West Timor — many of them against their will — would return if given a chance.
